Crying is normal if it is just occasional, like if the momma is cleaning them, if they get separated from the group, if momma leaves them for a moment or if they are hungry. A puppy that has a steady cry usually has a problem. You need to make sure all the puppies are latching on. For example, a puppy with a cleft palate will try to nurse but will be unable to latch.
The puppies should have round bellies. They should be eating every couple of hours. As they get older they will not eat as often.
Make sure momma is not to hot. If the momma gets to hot it will slow down her milk production. Is the momma eating well?
